REPEATER_EMERGENCT_POWER_SUPPLY

Published:2009/7/12 23:06:00 Author:May

If your repeater needs emergency power, this circuit might do. Connect a 12-V storage battery, a relay, and a 0.5-Ω 50-W resistor as shown. Normally, the battery charges at a low rate (less than 1 A) through the 0.5-Ω resistor. When power fails, current can flow from the battery through the diode for a few milliseconds, until the relay drops out and closes the contacts, completely eliminating any voltage drop. If your repeater doesn't use a 13.8-V power supply, you could purchase a 2-A battery charger and connect a 0.5- to l-Ω resistor (50 W) in series with the battery. This will charge at approximately 1/2 A and maintain the battery.   (View)

GaAsFET_BIAS_SUPPLY

Published:2009/7/16 21:03:00 Author:Jessie

Cellular telephones and other mobile communications gear use depletion-mode GaAsFET RE output transistors, which require a negative bias voltage for proper operation. This LTC1261 circuit generates a regulated negative voltage using no inductors, and will give plenty of drive for GaAsFET bias circuits. The LTC1261CS8 inverts the supply voltage (5 V to -4.5 V), whereas the LTC1261CS can invert or double the supply voltage (3 V to -4 or -5 V). Both parts regulate the generated output voltage. The quiescent current is just 600 μA, and the shutdown current is only 5 μA. The combination of high oscillator frequency, which reduces the switched capacitor size, and the variety of fixed-output regulated negative voltages allows for a minimum-space power supply. The LTC1261 comparator output controls a P-channel MOSFET to ensure that the drain current for the GaAsFET is switched off until the regulated negative output voltage is valid. This ensures that the gate voltage is sufficient to keep the GaAsFET off during power-up, preventing unsaturated operation and excessive operation.   (View)

CHARGE_PUMP_BOOST_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/16 21:03:00 Author:Jessie

The circuit overcomes the charge pump's lack of regulation by adding a regulator externally. Another option-if load currents are modest-is to add regulation on the chip. Regulation in a monolithic chip is generally accomplished either as linear regulation or as charge-pump modulation. Linear regulation offers lower output noise; therefore, provides better performance in (for example) a GaAsFET-bias circuit for RF amplifiers. Charge-pump modulation (which controls the switch resistance) offers more output current for a given die size (or cost) because the IC need not include a series pass transistor.   (View)

HIGH_VOLTAGE_PULSE_SUPPLY

Published:2009/7/16 21:02:00 Author:Jessie

This high-voltage pulse supply will generate pulses up to 30 kV. Q1 and Q2 form a multivibrator in conjunction with peripheral components R1 through R6 and C1, C2, C3, C5, C6, and D2. R9 adjusts the pulse repetition rate. R2 should be selected to limit the maximum repetition rate to 20 Hz. I1 is a type 1156 lamp used as a current limiter. R9 can be left out and R2 selected to produce a fixed rate, if desired.Try about 1 MΩ as a start.Q3 serves as a power amplifier and switch to drive T1 (an automotive ignition coil). NE1 is used as a pulse indicator and indicates circuit operation. Because this circuit can develop up to 30 kV, suitable construction techniques and safety precautions should be observed.   (View)

10000_V_STANDARD

Published:2009/7/16 21:01:00 Author:Jessie

The heart of the voltage standard is the LT1027BCH voltage reference IC, IC2, manufactured by Linear Technology Corp. It sports a temperature coefficient of two parts per million per degree Celsius (2 PPM/℃), and it comes pretrimmed within ±0.05 percent. Provision for optional trim circuitry is included on the board; however, it requires an additional resistor-selection step. To eliminate sensitivity to input-voltage variations, the incoming supply is regulated at 15 Vdc. This is accomplished with a conventional LM340T15 voltage regulator, which powers both the reference IC and the output amplifier. The LT1050 amplifier doubles the 5-V output of the LT1027 to the desired 10 Vdc. It is chopper-stabilized, providing far lower drift than a conventional op amp. Noise filtering is provided by the 0.47-μF capacitor across the feedback resistor. Note that the LT1050 does not have the out-put drive of a bipolar device-thus, the slightly higher than normal feedback resistors. You should not try to use the voltage standard with loads below 10 kΩ. The 0.47-μF/49.9-Ω output network improves stability when cables and capacitive loads are driven.   (View)
